in this study the flotation of pyrite as the main sulfide impurity of Sangan iron ore in Iran, was investigated. For this purpose the effect of collector type, pH, collector concentration and stage dosing on reverse flotation of iron sulfide ore from magnetite ore was investigated. Two type of thiol collectors include xanthates (sodium isopropyl xanthate (SIPX) and potassium amyl xanthate (PAX)) and dithiocarbamate (di-ethyl dithiocarbamate (DTC)) and the mixture of collectors was studied. The highest sulfur removal was obtained with potassium amyl xanthate. Stage dosing had a significant effect in sulfide flotation and the best recovery was obtained when the collector was added in 4 stages. The acidity had a positive effect on sulfide floatability and the best result was obtained at pH 3.5-4. Investigation about collector concentration showed that increasing the SIPX concentration enhanced the sulfur removal but this factor was not effective for PAX.
